I recently brought my Chery Tiggo 7 Pro to Ricardo's Detail Garage for Paint Protection and Interior Leather Protection, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the moment I arrived, the team at Ricardo's was professional, attentive, and clearly passionate about their work.
The paint protection they applied has given my car a stunning, glossy finish that makes it look brand new. It's not just about the aesthetics; I feel confident that my car's exterior is now well-protected against the elements. The attention to detail in the application process was evident, and I appreciated the thorough explanation of the benefits and maintenance tips they provided.
The interior leather protection was equally impressive. The leather seats now feel softer and more luxurious, and I can tell they’re shielded from future wear and tear. The team took great care to ensure every inch of the interior was treated with precision and care.
Overall, Ricardo's Detail Garage exceeded my expectations. Their expertise, friendly service, and dedication to customer satisfaction make them stand out. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to protect and enhance their vehicle. I'll definitely be returning for future services!

NEW CAR PROTECTION & TINT PACKAGES
So you have just bought your new car and The dealership has told you about their Ceramic Paint Protection and Tinting but something doesn’t feel right when they show you their packages with their fancy brochure promising everything????
🌟 The Sad truth behind Most Dealership Protections:
- You will usually pay double than what it costs compared to an Aftermarket Accredited Installer
- The quality of Ceramic Coatings and Tint is subpar in comparison to what is available if you go to a quality Aftermarket Provider. Their products are brought in bulk and are designed to line the pockets of the sales people.
Common Issues:- Their Ceramic Coatings just don’t last, often failing with 6-12 months.
- Bubbles in Tint & breakdown after just a few years
- Dealership Lifetime Warranties aren’t worth the paper they are written on. Often very long and riddled with clauses that will absolve them from any liability. And just try to make a claim, you will have to go in Guns Blazing and Red Hot Angry just to have any chance of getting something fixed, if they will do it at all.
- Installations are often rushed through with critical steps often missed especially in preparation. You will also nearly never see or speak to the actually installers as this is often also sub-contracted out to another company.
Common Issues:- Missed Patches
- Cars not Decontaminated and Polished properly meaning the surface is not clean and the coating doesn’t bond properly thus causing shorter lifespan
- Average durability for most dealership coatings is often 6 months – 2 years. Warranty and Durability are 2 different things, buyer beware.

What Our Clients Say
Had my paint taken care of by Daniel! I must say it looks better then it did brand new from the dealership and you can see the sparkle in my black paint that I never even knew was there. Best money spent having Fireball Ceramic Paint Protection applied to my Elantra. We love Fireball so much now that once we upgraded my partner's car we opted out of dealership paint protection for his new vehicle and went straight back to Ricardo's Detail Garage knowing we were in the best hands. I cannot recommend these guys enough!

Give him a call today and protect your car for years to come, 5 stars all day, everyday!
Lee Halfpenny
Daniel did an awesome job on my Lexus RC F. His service and professionalism was great and it showed in his work. The car looks like its come out of the factory with an added shine. The colour and the surfaces popped out to appreciate the deep blue colour of the car. The interior finish was awesome too. I would highly recommend Daniel for any car and if you have a high end car and feel nervous about someone working on it then Daniel is the one for you. His expertise and knowledge of the product will set you at ease
